INSTRUCTION .
GLOBE LODGE ( NO . 23 ) . —On the 26 th instant , the anniversary of this flourishing Lodge of Instruction was celebrated at the Talbot , Little Chester-street , Belgravia , by a strong muster of its numbers , and a numerous attendance of visitors . The business of the evening consisted in working the first lecture , which was most efficiently done by Brs . Simpson , Farmer , Adams , Allen , Collard , Levinson , and Thomas : the lodge being ably presided over by Br . Blackburn . Many joining members having been
elected , and other business of a formal nature transacted , the lodge was closed , and the brethren sat down to a repast , which , for its style and profusion , we have seldom seen surpassed on similar occasions . Br . Heywood , W . M . ( 752 ) , and member of the Parent Lodge , presided at the banquet , in his usual excellent manner , and we noticed among the brethren , who supported him on this occasion ( and who exceeded 40 in number ) , Brs . Adams ( 196 ) , Allan ( 276 ) , Bywater ( 19 ) , Orelli , Aznavour , & e . & c . The customary loyal toasts having been proposed and responded to , the W . M . proposed
the P . M / s , Br . Rackstraw returning thanks ; next the W . M . 's , which was responded to by Brs . Adams , Queely , and Farmer . ThoW . M ., in proposing the toast of the evening , "'Success to the GlobeLodge of Instruction , " eloquently alluded to the success which had finally crowned the strenuous efforts of some of its members , particularly Brs . Collard and Levinson , who never seemed to be tired of doing all they could for the prosperity of the Lodge . Br . Levinson , secretary , replied , thanking the brethren for their kind support . The evident increase of members since he had the honour of
joining the Lodge , the urbanity and good fellowship which generally prevailed in the Lodge , led him to hope that the celebration of each successive anniversary would continue to progress , establish and cement such brotherly feeling , as to carry out real Masonic principles . Other toasts followed , and the brethren finally departed , highly delighted with the festivities of the evening , and the excellent arrangements of Br . Goodyor , the worthy host . We must not omit to mind the craft that this Lodge of Instruction meets all the year round , and thus affords an excellent opportunity of
obtaining instruction when other Lodges are closed for the summer vacation . ST .
